Mark TIBBITT

Prof. Dr. Mark Tibbitt is professor at ETH Zurich (Switzerland) and the head of the Macromolecular Engineering Laboratory at ETH Zürich. His research is focused on the development of complex material structures and chemistries for biomedical applications. By studying the fundamental processes of biology and materials science, his aim is to produce tangible technologies with clinical and societal impact in the fields of regenerative medicine, drug delivery and biomedical diagnostics. The research in his lab is highly multidisciplinary with group members coming from diverse backgrounds ranging from biology to engineering. His research covers various topics and among them: the design of biomaterial scaffolds with controlled biochemical and mechanical properties for 3D cell culture, the production of nanoparticles for drug delivery applications, 3D printed scaffolds for tissue regeneration and the development of hydrogels for thermal stabilization of complex biomolecules.
